St.
Louis Cemetery No. 1, the oldest existing New Orleans cemetery, is the
final resting place for many of the most famous figures in the city's
intriguing history, including Voodoo Queen Marie Leveaux, chessmaster
Paul Morphy and others. In the 1940s, a brass nameplate was found in
Alley 4 for Madame Delphine Lalaurie, the infamous slave torturer who
fled the city ahead of a lynch mob in 1836. Discovery of the small grave
marker lends weight to rumors that the elusive Lalaurie returned to
New Orleans - alive or dead. See The French
Quarter Ripper. (NOLA LIVE PHOTO)
